SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY
Since 2000, solar energy has undergone significant expansion, laying the groundwork for its continued growth as a clean energy source. In the United States alone, nearly 6,800 megawatts (MW) of solar capacity have been installed over the past decade, sufficient to power 15 million homes.
With 253,000 employees spread across all 50 states, the solar industry has invested $143 billion in projects nationwide. These American solar initiatives contribute to the avoidance of 88 million metric tons of CO2 emissions annually, a figure equivalent to removing 19 million cars from the roads.
Grid-Scale Power
Grid-scale solar power refers to large-scale solar energy installations that are connected to the electrical grid and contribute significant amounts of electricity to the overall grid system. These installations typically consist of vast arrays of solar panels, often covering large expanses of land or installed on rooftops of buildings.
Distribution-scale power
Distribution-scale power refers to small to medium-sized electricity generation systems that are installed closer to the point of consumption, typically at or near the locations where electricity is needed. These systems generate electricity for local use and are often interconnected with the distribution grid, which is the part of the electrical grid responsible for delivering electricity from the transmission system to end-users.
Onsite Solution
Onsite solutions for solar energy refer to systems where solar panels are installed directly at the location where the electricity will be used, typically on rooftops or on the ground of residential, commercial, or industrial properties. These systems generate electricity from sunlight, which is then consumed onsite to power the building’s electrical loads.
